The words we choose matter, and this includes words we choose to place at our doors. 'Welcome' mats are silly because not everyone who comes to someone's door is going to be welcome; there are going to be those who are decidedly NOT welcome.

On house rules:

For home owners, it's best practice to carefully consider and be very clear on who IS (clearly articulate this) and who ISN'T (clearly articulate this) welcome – and not allowed at all – in your home. House rules need not be posted anywhere, or even written down, but they do need to be created by someone with the authority to do so - i.e. created by the owner(s) of said house/property or by whoever has been put in charge by the owner(s).

1. Create your house rules.
2. (you don't have to but you may wish to) Inform all those present of the house rules.

'Informing' means this is not an 'ask' - you're not asking, you're telling certain individuals to leave (by way of stating the rules / by way of laying down the law of the space you control). Mean what you say, say it with focused intent, but remember: there's no need to raise your voice; the power of the words you speak is not measured by how loud you speak them. Powerful people don't need to yell. Powerful people don't need to turn to charms and superstition, or to gadgets, or need to burn a particular incense, or light particular candles etc. If it's your body, it's your body. If it's your space, it's your space. Take responsibility for them / exercise control over them. That is all.

------------------------------------------About this Photo
Shannon writes, The picture was sent to me by email from my 20 year old daughters iPhone. She is the one
who took the photo and her girlfriend and my mom (who doesn’t really believe in the supernatural...until now
probably) all saw the image. And when they started to back away, it lifted off of the glass. The image that you
are seeing is looking in from the outside. The door is an entrance from the back of my mom’s house. The only
things in the backyard are an old shed and a garage. I didn’t crop the picture but if you like i can have my daughter
send you the one taken from her iPhone, if she still has it.

One of my first full time jobs in the early 20’s was at a sport store where I was in charge of several different departments depending on the season. The business was growing and several stores were opened in a very short period of time, which required help from employees in neighboring stores.

I became enamored with a fellow employees car, a 1976 Camaro Rally Sport RT. My car was beginning to fall apart and I arranged with a bank for a loan under the condition that I raise half of the value of the car. Back then, you could order cars custom made to your request. I was told by the dealership that it would take approximately 9 weeks after placing an order for its arrival.

I began working a crazy amount of hours to make this car a reality. I would frequently work a full shift of 8-12 hours and then help with a store that was being erected in downtown Toronto. I remember one paycheck I worked 118 hours’ worth of overtime in a two-week period.

This did not allow much of a social life and I barely had one day a week off if I was lucky. I had been dating a sweet oriental woman for several years but my contact thinned and our going out was reduced from a couple of times a week to once a month. I still would phone her but relationships can easily change when you are young. I never really sensed anything was wrong until one evening.

I was invited back to the store I had put in an extraordinary amount of time in my off hours. This was a special event because only a handful of employees were invited to this pre-opening. The owner went all out with shrimp, champagne, delicacies and filet minion in appreciation.

I remember vividly walking up the long spiral marble staircase with a glass of champagne in my hand taking in the festivities and suddenly finding myself stopped in mid stride with a lucid vision that seemed as real as the event I was attending.

I saw my girlfriend taking a call from a prior boyfriend who had not been in the picture for several years and accepting a night out. I saw him picking her up at 7:15PM and taking her to Shoppers World in Brampton to see a movie for 7:30 pm. I saw they were admitted to watch Smokey & the Bandit at the theater. There prolonged separation began with instant rekindling. He dropped her off at 10:30 PM that night after a lengthy talk ending with a parting kiss. The time I experienced this was at 7:00 PM that night.

I shook it off rationalizing it was nothing more than an insecure vision but I tried calling her that night shortly after leaving the store and received no answer. I called the following two evenings without success.

Finally, on the third night I dropped by after work and knocked on her door. I saw her walk towards the door through the window and instantly knew something had changed just by her gait.

She answered and refused to make eye contact. I said, “I’ve been trying to get in touch for the last three nights, is everything okay?” She said, I have something to tell you.

I said you do not have to, I already know. She asks, “What do you mean?” I said, “You went out with Brian three nights ago to the movies at Shoppers World and watched Smokey & the Bandit. He picked you up at 7:15 PM and dropped you off 10:30 PM with a parting kiss.”

She went white and was at a loss of words. Finally, she looked up confused and asked, “How did you know that, my parents didn’t even know that happened?” My partings words were, sometimes you just know things.

There is just way too many details to justify this as merely a coincidence. I am sure some of you are chuckling a little, here is the skeptic who is wiping the pie off his face from a vision he cannot explain. For what it’s worth, I never had said this could not happen; I just look for rational explanations first. I have others I’ll share at a later date

Thought I would include the picture of my Camaro I worked so hard to buy. The first image was taken 40 years ago by a friend with an expensive SLR. I have just recently done a restoration to it digitally from a scan. The original image is about to fall apart completely.

To answer your question....people can astral project and meet on the astral plane. Now, do I think it's her that is coming to you at night? No. You may have drawn in a lonely being from the astral plane and they are pretending to be her.

Past life connections can be tricky. She has moved on with her life and is starting a family. Love her unconditionally and allow her to move on and release her. Just because you found each other does not mean you are meant to be together in this lifetime. We travel in soul groups of about 600-700 people. Honor yor past life/lives and move on, dearest.

If I may....you have not met the love of your life yet even if you think you have. I am looking at around May of 2018 you have the opportunity to meet somebody brand new. If you are looking back you cannot look into the future.

With all due respect and I'm not against smudging and cleansing, but have you ruled out natural maladies such as poisoning from radon, carbox monoxide, abundance of toxic EMF etc.? I'm definitely not a skeptic.I believe the best treatment is to find the actual cause that's creating the environment.It would be like a doctor prescribing heart medicine to a splinter in ones hand. Always exhaust natural explanations first. The paranormal generally is the least likely cause.

MAC, I'm really impressed with your thoroughness once again. You're expertise here should never be ignored.

White Star was a subsidiary of the International Mercantile Marine Company, owned by J. P. Morgan (& Co.), and so, the Titanic was owned by Morgan. Morgan had been booked for the maiden voyage but canceled days before the Titanic set sail.
Sure, people change plans, things come up, happens all the time, but, considering some of the circles Morgan and other prominent bankers belong to, and knowing these scoundrels' penchant for engineering disasters, I'd say Morgan knew his ship was on a one-way trip to the ocean floor.

Lou, if it's creating a problem, sometimes asking it vocally in a firm and respectful manner "to leave" out loud works. I've done this in my own house and hasn't returned to the best of my knowledge.

Also, you can't be sure it's the past entity. There's enough evidence in my research to strongly point to activity being transient in nature. I know other researchers have had auditory captures with the same voice, but I've never captured the same voice twice in 12 years of study.

Some believe a doormat at your front door saying "WELCOME" is an invitation. Who knows?

I've always respected Dr Taff and his work in the field. I remember reading his book on this case back in the 70's, the movie was ok. But that photo always stuck in my head as possibly one of the few photographs that showed paranormal activity -- or an entity.

Agreed Vlawde, I put him in my top 5. The movie was only loosely based on the actual investigation and the ending was truly far fetched from the actual events. I only include it because many remember the movie but don't know the actual case. Another one of my favorite investigators (not auditory related) was Peter Underwood. Loved his dedication. He investigated for over 50 years and continued his research up until his death.

BTW- Although I endorse a healthy degree of skepticism, the Bither case had 28 investigators witness phenomena at the same time with the image above and the skeptics continued to deny the possibility. I understand that a collective hallucination is possible but, "28 people at the same time?"

Visual phenomena can be the most frustrating. Seldom is it collective and even more rare is it captured. I'm not sure that visual phenomena can even be captured visually for validation. There will always be mundane explanations but we all seem to agree, not ALL of them. It's shocking considering the number of cellphones available throughout the world that there hasn't been truly a convincing and validated image made.

i've only seen something collectively once in the last 40 years. Sadly psychologists suggest it be be nothing but a collective hallucination. Apparently, the Doris Bither case. (Barry Taff aka The Entity 1974) had phenomena witnessed by 28 people and was captured by a professional photographer. Unsurprising, skeptics called it a collective hallunication even then but unfortunately they chiselled their reality into a state a "denial".

Several times, I've witnessed audio phenomena that fails to be recorded even with multiple recording devices. Much of the phenomena, if given enough time can be explained with natural causes but not all of them. That's what continues to peak my interest in this enigmatic pseudoscience.

The idea is to offer things that can be done from a distance. There are VA's that make alot of money per month. And it's cheaper to hire a VA for the few hours you need them than it is an employee. Plus the VA pays for everything themselves. The client doesn't pay for vacation, employee insurance or anything else, plus only the hours they use.

I'm also doing travel assistance, web design, and desktop publishing.

I just don't want to work for someone else anymore. I'm hoping this works out. If you know anyone that might be interested, I would much appreciate it if you'd give me a mention.

I saw a post you made in another topic about vinegar keeping spirits away...... interesting because I started cleaning strictly with white vinegar with a very small amount of dish liquid soap added. I never use any other cleaners because this works very well for everything, including mopping floors, cleaning counter tops, table tops, cleaning the microwave and stovetop, oven, windows, etc. Except laundry and washing dishes of course, it doesn't work for that. It is cheap and effective, and I have an aversion to chemicals. I am not alergic, I just don't like them! I have been using this for a long time, and my ghost disapeared. I wonder if using the vinegar made him vanish?? I can't remember if I started using the vinegar at the same time the ghost vanished or not, but it's possible. You seem to know so much more than me about these things, I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Besides the gallbladder... here's what else is coming out! ........Well, minis the penny!

There could of been a penny in there for all I know lol, aliens could of left it. my gallstones were like the size of the ball on the end of a pin, there were just like thousands of them.

I'm home by the way, everything went really good, I woke up, didn't throw up, and I have been alert the entire time I have been awake. I was told I looked very good for someone who just had surgery, my mom was very surprised. Everyone was so nice, and I got to drink some diet pepsi, eat some sherbet, jello, and some crackers.

I received a message this morning. It was very straight to the point and not much of a message... it was "Ask Michelle, she knows all about it"!

I am lucky I don't know too many people named Michelle. I work with a Michelle, so I am thinking of telling her but I don't want to seem strange.

Anyway, I work up the nerve to talk to Michelle at work and she tells me her friend (who is a nurse) lost her 23-year-old son. He had an epileptic seizure in his bedroom (his parent's house) and died. His mother just wants to know he was OK. I could feel a lot of energy while we were talking. I believe he dropped by in the hope I was going to say something; so I told Michelle what I heard.

Michelle said he was on the phone talking to his girlfriend (she is a nurse too) and she heard the seizure coming on in his voice and told him to get on his side; then she rang the ambulance (she didn't have his parent's phone numbers). When the ambulance came the mother saw their torchlight so she went to investigate (her husband was already in bed). They said they were called because someone was having a seizure at that address. The mother ran to his room turned him over and started CPR but he was already deceased.

Michelle said his parents were going to deep relaxation grief sessions and the husband/father heard his son say "Tell Mum I'm OK". So it would seem, Michelle did know all about it!
